electronica fast forward, the start-up platform powered by Elektor, is back with a new way of presenting great innovations and technologies. We will present start-ups and scale-ups to the worldwide electronics community at the trade fair electronica 2022, in Munich. This year we will show the best of the best, selected and approved by Elektor. Based on submissions and the opinions of industry connoisseurs, our initial long list has been evaluated by our jury. The jury is consisting of one electronics engineer, one editor, one marketeer, and one business expert. They have ranked each start- and scale-up following our well-proven ranking system, specifically developed for this purpose.
 
The selected start-ups will be given a big part of our 273 m² booth to present their technology/services combined with a forum, where we bring extraordinary speakers on the stage. The start-ups will be given a marketing budget of a total of €150,000.

This is an invite-only competition but we encourage everyone to join the show and visit our electronica fast forward booth. To round up this year's electronica fast forward, we will invite also a unique electronics-related university team to the trade floors. So, keep an eye on the electronica newsletter and make sure to visit the electronica fast forward booth (B4.440). electronica 2022 (November 15-18, 2022), the world’s leading trade fair for electronics.
